Genesee County Prosecutor David Leyton said the man's luck didn't get any better when he was transported to Hurley for the gunshot wound.

While receiving treatment at the hospital, the man was identified by one of the nurses working on him as the person that robbed her two weeks prior.

Leo Ricardo Stringer, 17, is charged with carjacking, carrying a concealed firearm, felony firearms and delivery of a controlled substance stemming from the Feb. 20 carjacking incident. Leyton said he now also faces armed robbery and felony firearms charges for allegedly robbing the nurse.

The nurse, who was visiting from out-of-town, was robbed in a parking lot near Hurley, Leyton said.

Leyton said the nurse recused herself from treating Stringer after she identified him.

Stringer is currently being held in the Genesee County Jail. He is scheduled to be in Flint District Court for a preliminary hearing March 27.
